The new design: I vote mess. I went in this weekend. Not only is it cluttered, they seem to have discarded the complete list of partner vendors (thanks for the gratitude) and the Shopping Cart is actually worse than it used to be -- which took some doing. I swear, there must be some special customer relations program, perhaps at Provo Tech and Charm School, where folks who run Poser marketplaces learn to shoot off their toes.

It took me three hours to complete a $30 purchase! And on the first round, I had a full cart with no Checkout button. Fixed that by the simple expedient of starting over, only to discover that I could only use one of my four "valuable coupons." Renewing my Passport will be a hard sell. Next time I want something that's offered for more money at PoserPros, I'll figure in my time.

And if e-F releases the G2 guys in July as mucked up as they seem to be (no elbows???), just to make a date, that's pathetic. I will be picking them up today to make my own judgment, but an elbow is an awful thing to lose. Screwing up the male figures doesn't matter much to me, since I still use Don for most things, but it bodes ill for the femmes. I've been a defender of Jessi and Miki for some time, but mainly because I believed they were going to repair the problems... without introducing worse ones.
